    #56 back again

    +£629.77 from PayPal taking April to £2,911.04 (I believe!)

    It’s staggering to think what we could collectively buy with our overpayments.

    Also I have £781.27 set up as a regular monthly overpayment going forwards - this will increase in October when I can transfer funds to my mortgage (as they are reducing the monthly payment) as I want to keep my bigger mortgage payments at £1000/month once I’m off my fix so I’m pretending I’m paying at that level with no commitment. I’d rather have a £600 mortgage payment and £400 overpayment than reduce my term and have to pay £1000 if you see what I mean. (Unfortunately £31.27 is my current bridge to £1000)

    Hi all,

    #11

    Reporting £1250 overpayment for March.

    Well done everyone , we are doing great and over a quarter way through the year already.

    As additional motivation and reward, I am planning to cook a nice family meal every quarter to celebrate whatever we manage to pay off in those 3 months.

    #76 checking in with April's regular over payment of £550.
    Thank you Julicorn. I keep my own spreadsheet to track where we are with reducing the term as the mortgage company only gives us twice yearly statements but this is so satisfy and motivating. A good reminder too that it's worth throwing the smallest amount at the mortgage too.

    #31 sorry it’s been a while. March was £50, I’m hoping to do a lot more at the end of this month.

    23 weeks since our offer was accepted on a no chain simple sale and still no progress.

    On the up side my very large mug/mortgage OP pot of change in my locker at work is virtually full and at last count has about £125 in it!
